Wondering about a 2nd hand iphone

Legacy_user

I have a samsung c3350 solid x-cover mobile phone and a low monthly contract. Having seen how quickly my son-in-law can take photo's with his iphone, ie press,press,press rather than wait for "saving". I am now wondering if I should consider trying to buy a second hand iphone and swapping the sim card.

This sounds too easy, is it possible to do this?

Noooo, get a new Nexus 4, better in every way.

Of course it is perfectly possible to buy a second hand unlocked iPhone and put your own SIM in it.

My last two phones have been just that

I am forever in your debt, always appreciate help from an Apple fan.

BTW OP You may need a new SIM card if your existing one is not the right size for your new phone.

As it happens I am not an Apple fan. Just someone who can tell that things can be different as opposed to better.


Some folk like Apple others Android.

Some Blackberry and others Windows mobile.

What free app do you mean?

Samsung overtook Apple in terms of world wide sales a while ago, but maybe that's not what you meant?

OP has not got an iPhone, so any new phone will be different for them.
I would dispute how anyone can prefer a Windows phone though if its as much of the dinner of a dog as Windoze 8.1.

Anywho, £160 for a Nexus 7 is a bit of a bargain, as the Nexus 5 will be launched soon, the photosphere.

Although not that popular there appear to be many people who like windows phones so seems pointless to dispute that.

WTFH

You'll get less grief on forums if you buy the Samsung. If you even consider the Apple, you'll be accused of being a fanboi, etc etc.
Safer to join the herd and buy a Samsung.
